I'm a graduate student in the Strategy and Organization Area of the PhD Program at the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. My supervisor is Samer Faraj. I'm interested in the entaglement of knowledge and emerging technologies. I study this entanglement in organizations through qualitative field studies in healthcare settings. I also explore this entanglement in social science research methods.
Please visit my Google Scholar page for recent publications. My research pipeline is represented in the projects below:
My doctoral dissertation research monograph is based on a qualitative comparative field study of OR scheduling and "AI" technology development at two hospitals. Preliminary findings point to how local knowledge arrangements shape the development of AI in healthcare, and highlight the challenges of articulating tacit knowledge in the context of developing emerging technologies. This project has produced two conference proceedings and is featured in a symposium on AI and Expertise I helped organize at the 2024 Academy of Management annual meeting.
This project is based on a qualitative field study of how a frontline hospital coordinated an organization-wide response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary findings reveal how coordinators enact the conditions for emergent, interdependent work during extended and evolving crises. This project has produced two conference proceedings. I'm currently preparing two manuscripts based on this study for submission to journals.
I'm interested how new ideas emerge, gain traction, and get taken-for-granted in knowledge communities. I'm using data collected for this project to explore management research, and to experiment with an ensemble of computationally entangled interpretive research methods that consider the technical expertise of the researcher.
I'm interested in the interplay of emerging technologies and organizational primitives like coordination, control, decision-making, and innovation. I write translational pieces that offer technical and theoretical vocabularies for management scholars. This project has produced a well-cited paper and a book chapter. I'm currently working on a third piece.
